According to DigiTimes, more than 30 smartphones running on Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.5 from a total of over 15 handset vendors are to be launched before the end of 2009, says Benjamin Tan, senior director, GCR Mobile Team Unit at Microsoft China.

Handset vendors which have expressed their support for Microsoft’s new mobile OS include HTC (High Tech Computer), Acer, Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics (LGE), Sony Ericsson, Toshiba, and Hewlett-Packard (HP), according to market sources in Taiwan.

So, is Windows Mobile dead? With more than 30 WinMo 6.5 devices in 3 months, which average to about 10 WinMo 6.5 devices per month, I would say it is still alive and kicking.
